You've probably heard the saying "read the room" when making public comments.
This means you should know your audience before you do or say something controversial.
Players in the NFL apparently missed that, because the results of their antics are in,
and these overpaid ball players have some serious explaining to do.
Players and coaches alike who took a knee while the national anthem have stirred up
a huge media frenzy, as many Americans consider their actions offensive.
The NFL's declining viewership has turned into a nightmare for the league, as their
right-leaning fans are refusing to watch anymore games.
The Washington Examiner has the latest round of bad news for the NFL, their sponsors, and
the racist players whose jobs are on the chopping block:
The National Football League is feeling the impact of the 'Trump Effect.'
Ticket sales since he called on team owners to fire players who take a knee to protest
the National Anthem have cratered.
The online ticket reseller TickPick told Secrets that sales have dropped 17.9 percent, far
more than the usual Week Three fall.
From TickPick:
17.9 percent decrease in NFL orders this week compared to the previous week.
Last year the drop was 10.8 percent in orders on Monday & Tuesday following Week Three games.
This means that while the regular season might still be in full swing, the season to protest
is over.
With viewership numbers reaching startling 20-year lows, the league can't afford anymore
setbacks, and they're going to have to do something drastic to win back their irate
fans.
"'We have seen a massive decrease in NFL ticket purchases this past week in comparison
to years past.
Week 3 seems to usually have less ticket orders than week 2, but this year ticket purchases
are down more than 7 percent from this time last year,'" said TickPick's Jack Slingland.
"While we can't specify if this decrease is due to the president's comments, player
and owner protests, play on the field, or simply the continued division of consumer's
media attention, the conversation around the NFL this week has focused on the president's
comments as well as the players' and owners' reaction.
As viewers continue to abandon their NFL Sunday habits, both the number of ticket sales and
the purchase price of tickets will drop."
Oh, you can't tell what's causing these declining numbers?
It could be due to the hundreds of thousands of fans who've decided to stop attending
games after getting slapped in the face with disrespect, or perhaps protesting players
in recent days telling outraged fans to "take a hike."
Business owners are also decreasing their patronage, as they are increasingly reluctant
to be associated with the kind of activity that flies in the face of American values.
Al Waisman of Freedom Daily reported on restaurants who have opted out of showing the games at
their establishments:
"Mom and Pop restaurant owners are actually responding to the rich spoiled oppressed hypocrites
in the NFL that kneeled in protest against the national anthem during Sunday's games
by shutting off TVs in their establishments.
This comes after President Donald Trump denounced the protests and told sports fans to never
condone their actions.
This is not an easy thing for the restaurant owners to do since their profit margins are
known for being very small and they make a lot of money when people come in to watch
sports games, eat chicken wings and drink beer."
A lot of Americans are protesting, and it really doesn't cost a thing.
In fact, it might even save money, since fans aren't shelling out the cash to see a game.
This is just the beginning of the problems the problems that the NFL faces.
As Prissy Holly reported, the league could soon be forced to find their funds from places
other than the American taxpayer after government officials get finished dropping the hammer:
Unfortunately for the anti-American NFL, empty stadiums and plummeting viewership could soon
be the least of their concerns.
If these subsidies suddenly end, all the NFL would have to fork out their own money to
build and maintain these fancy stadiums, meaning they'd have no choice but to listen to their
angry fans and put an end to these protests.
As these cocky players continue to disrespect our country, our police, and every American
soldier who has fought, bled, and died to protect America, the one thing they didn't
consider was the will of the American people.
After refusing to listen to their vast patriotic fanbase, now they'll be incurring the full
wrath of GOP lawmakers who overnight could ruin everything for them with this wonderful
new piece of legislation."
They might be able to keep playing for now, but with a multi-front attack that the American
people are launching on them, the NFL is going to have to make some big decisions soon, otherwise,
football as we know it might be a thing of the past.

Jerusalem Dateline: 09/29/17 Kurds Vote for Independence, What's Next? - Duration: 22:31.
*
>> THIS WEEK ON "JERUSALEM
DATELINE," AN EXCLUSIVE
REPORT FROM IRAQ, WHERE
THE KURDS HAVE JUST VOTED
IN FAVOR OF INDEPENDENCE.
>> IF YOU'RE KURDISH, THIS
IS ESPECIALLY FOR YOU,
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE
FREE FROM NOW ON.
>> PLUS, THREE ISRAELIS
MURDERED IN THE
PALESTINIAN ATTACK, AND
THE WIDOW WILL LIKELY GET
A PENSION.
AND PRAYERS AT THE WESTERN
WALL.
ALL OF THIS AND MORE ON
"JERUSALEM DATELINE."
HELLO, AND WELCOME TO THIS
EDITION OF "JERUSALEM
DATELINE."
I'M JULIE STAAL, FILLING
IN FOR CHRIS MITCHELL, WHO
IS ON ASSIGNMENT IN
KURDISTAN.
>>> THE KURDISH PEOPLE,
THE LARGEST ETHNIC GROUP
IN THE WORLD WITHOUT A
COUNTRY, TOOK A STEP
TOWARDS STATEHOOD WHEN THE
2% OF KURD92% OF KURDS VOTED IN
FAVOR OF INDEPENDENCE.
THE QUESTION REMAINS, WHAT
WILL HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE
EAST AFTER THE REFERENDUM,
AND HOW THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION WILL
RESPOND.
>> Chris: AFTER THE
VOTE, KURDS TOOK TO THE
STREETS TO CELEBRATE THEIR
CLAIM TO A COUNTRY OF
THEIR OWN.
HOURS EARLIER, THEY TOOK
TO THE POLLS.
MANY CAME AND MADE IT A
FAMILY AFFAIR.
THESE KURDS ARE EXERCISING
THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE FOR
INDEPENDENCE FOR THE FIRST
TIME.
FOR MANY, IT IS ONE MORE
STEP AND A LONG HISTORY
TOWARDS A FREE AND
INDEPENDENT KURDISTAN.
EVEN THOUGH 14-YEAR-OLD
SELMA COLO COULDN'T VOTE, SHE
CAME WITH HER FAMILY AND
EXPRESSED THE HOPES OF THE
KURDISH PEOPLE.
>> IF YOU'RE KURDISH, IT
IS ESPECIALLY BECAUSE
YOU'RE GOING TO BE FREE
FROM NOW ON.
>> THIS IS A PEOPLE
ACHIEVING A DREAM THEY'VE
HAD FOR 100 YEARS.
>> Chris: THIS MAN
COMPARES THE KURDS OF
TODAY TO AMERICANS MORE
THAN 200 YEARS AGO.
>> THEY'RE NOT ASKING
ANYTHING FROM THE
AMERICANS, EXCEPT FOR THE
AMERICANS TO ACCEPT THAT
THE KURDS HAVE THE SAME
RIGHTS THAT THE AMERICANS
HAD IN 1776, ALTHOUGH THE
KURDISH COMPLAINTS ABOUT
IRAQ ARE MUCH BIGGER THAN
AMERICA'S COMPLAINTS.
>> Chris: THIS STATE
DEPARTMENT POSITION IS
BASED ON THE ONE-IRAQ
POLICY, WHICH WOULD KEEP
KURDISTAN UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF THE
IRANIAN-BACKED GOVERNMENT
OF IRAN.
>> ONE, WE GIVE THEM TO
THE IRANIANS.
TWO, WE CLEA COMPLETE THE SHI'A
ARK THAT GOES AROUND IRAN
AND INTO LEBANON.
>> Chris: HE SAYS THIS
POLICY PUTS THE U.S. ON
THE WRONG SIDE.
>> TO INSIST ON THE UNITY
OF IRAQ UNDER A GOVERNMENT
IN BAGHDAD, THAT IS IRAN'S
CLOSEST ALLY IN THE WORLD,
THAT CREATED A MALITIA,
WHICH IS COMMANDED BY THE
HEAD OF THE IRANIAN
REVOLUTIONARY GUARDS, AND
WHICH IS ON KURDISTAN'S
BORDERS, AND INSTEAD OF
SIDING WITH THE KURDS, THE
TRUMP CITY IS SIDING WITH
SULEMON.
>> THE PLACE THAT HAS BEEN
PROTECTING IRAQ'S
CHRISTIANS, THE CHRISTIANS
OF THE MIDDLE EAST, IS
KURDISTAN.
>> Chris: THE KURDS FACE
HOSTILE NEIGHBORS, OPPOSED
TO THEIR INDEPENDENCE.
BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP
KURDS, LIKE SELMA, OF
DREAMING FOR A FREE PLACE.
>> IT WOULD A HAPPY AND
SPECIAL PLACE FOR KURDS TO
BE FREE.
>> Julie: AND NOW
JOINING US FROM IRBIL IS
CHRIS MITCHELL.
SHALOM, CHRIS.
WE SAW IN YOUR REPORT THAT
THE KURDS VOTED
OVERWHELMING FOR
INDEPENDENCE, BUT WHAT
WILL HAPPEN NOW?
>> Chris: IT IS GREAT TO
BE WITH YOU FROM IRBIL,
THE CAPITAL OF KURDISTAN.
AND THE QUESTION IS WHAT
IS GOING TO HAPPEN AFTER
THE SUCCESSFUL REFERENDUM.
MANY PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT
TWO COUNTRIES.
IRAN HAS BEEN TRYING TO
FILL THE VACUUM HERE IN
KURDISTAN, AND THAT IS AN
OMINOUS DEVELOPMENT FOR
THE KURDS AND THE
CHRISTIANS IN THE AREA.
THE OTHER COUNTRY THAT IS
VERY PIVOTAL IS THE UNITED
STATES.
I'VE BEEN HEARING THAT IF
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
CAME OUT IN SUPPORT OF A
STRONG, FREE, AND
INDEPENDENT KURDISTAN,
THEY WOULD GET THEIR
INDEPENDENCE.
YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT
AFTER WORLD WAR I, THERE
WAS A PROMISE BY THE
NATIONS THEY COULD HAVE AN
INDEPENDENT STATE, AND
THAT NEVER MATERIALIZED.
AND YOU SHOULD REMEMBER
AFTER ISIS CAME IN IN
2014, IT WAS THE KURDS
THAT TOOK OVER THOUSANDS
OF REFUGEES, EVEN WHILE
THEY WERE UNDER SIEGE.
>> Julie: CHRIS, WHAT IS
THE RELATIONSHIP OF ISRAEL
TO THE KURDS?
>> Chris: IT WAS ISRAELI
PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN
NETANYAHU, WHO IS THE ONLY
LEADER IN THE FREE WORLD,
TO ACTUALLY COME OUT AND
SUPPORT KURDISH
INDEPENDENCE.
THE UNITED STATES OPPOSED
IT, IRAN, TURKEY, AND THE
BAGHDAD GOVERNMENT, THEY
ALL OPPOSED IT, BUT ISRAEL
STOOD BEHIND THE KURDS.
AND THERE IS AN
INTERESTING.
RELATIONSHIP
BECAUSE MANY JEWS IN
KURDISTAN, WHEN THEY WERE
UNDER PERSECUTION -- IT
WAS THE KURDS WHO HELPED
THEM GET BACK THE JEWS.
THERE IS A VERY CLOSE
AFFINITY BETWEEN ISRAEL
AND THE KURDISH PEOPLE.
SOMETIMES THAT
RELATIONSHIP IS OVERT,
LIKE WHEN PRIME MINISTER
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU CAME
OUT IN SUPPORT.
BUT MANY TIMES IT IS
COVERT.
THERE HAS BEEN REPORTS OF
THE ISRAELI SECURITY
SATISFIES HAVING
RELATIONSHIP HERE AND
SUPPORTING THE KURDS.
MANY TIMES THAT IS NOT
REPORTED ON, BUT THERE IS
A STRONG RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE
KURDISH PEOPLE.
>> Julie: WE SAW IN
REPORTS THAT YOU VISITED A
COUPLE OF CHURCHES.
WHAT IS THE PLIGHT OR THE
SITUATION OF THE
CHRISTIANS IN THE AREA?
>> Chris: JULIE, EVER
SINCE WE REPORTED HERE IN
2014, IT HAS BEEN A
DESPERATE SITUATION HERE
FOR CHRISTIANS.
IN 2014, THEY WERE FLEEING
FOR THEIR LIVES.
NOW MANY OF THEM ARE STILL
DISPLACED.
WE WERE IN A CHURCH
SERVICE JUST THE OTHER
NIGHT WHERE HUNDREDS OF
CHRISTIANS HAVE GATHERED,
AND THEY'RE STILL IN A
REFUGEE CAMP THREE YEARS
AFTER THEY FLED THEIR
HOMES.
SOME OF THEM WOULD LIKE TO
GO BACK TO IRBIL AND
QARAQOSH, BUT THERE HOMES
HAVE BEEN DESTROYED.
THEY WOULD LIKE TO GO TO
OTHER COUNTRIES, BUT THAT
MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE.
IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT
TIME TO BE SUPPORTING THE
CHRISTIANS HERE BY PRAYER,
AND ALSO BY ACTION.
THERE IS SOME LEGISLATION
IN THE UNITED NATIONS'
CONGRESS THAT WOULD TRY TO
PROVIDE A SAFE ZONE FOR
CHRISTIANS IN THE NE NINEVEH
PLAIN.
CERTAINLY IT IS STILL A
DESPERATE TIME FOR OUR
BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN
CHRIST HERE IN THIS AREA.
>> Julie: HOW IMPORTANT
ARE OUR PRAYERS?
AND WHAT SHOULD WE BE
PRAYING FOR IN THE REGION?
>> Chris: I WOULD SAY
THAT PRAYER IS ONE OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT THINGS YOU
CAN DO FOR WHAT IS
HAPPENING HERE.
NOT ONLY FOR OUR BROTHERS
AND SISTERS -- AND THAT'S
CERTAINLY THAT WE NEED TO
DO, TO PRAY FOR THEIR
PROTECTION, TO PRAY THEY
COULD HAVE A NEW LIFE,
WHETHER HERE IN THEIR
VILLAGES, LIKE IN MOSUL OR
QARAQOSH, AND ALSO THE
ACTION THAT CAN BE DONE ON
THEIR BEHALF.
AND ALSO PRAYER FOR THE
GEOPOLITICS IN THE REGION.
WE TALKED TO A NORWEGIAN
PASTOR THAT CITED ACTS 17,
WHERE GOD SOMETIMES
REDRAWS BORDERS, AND THE
REASON FOR THAT IS SO MEN
CAN SEEK HIM.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
PRAYING NOT ONLY FOR
INDIVIDUALS, FOR THE
WORKERS THAT ARE DOING --
SPREADING THE GOSPEL HERE,
FOR THE PRIESTS AND THE
OTHER WORKERS, BUT ALSO
FOR THE GEOPOLITICS, THAT
GOD WOULD HAVE HIS WAY IN
PURPOSES HERE IN THIS
LAND.
>> Julie: THANK YOU,
CHRIS, FOR YOUR EXCELLENT
REPORTING FROM KURDISTAN.
BE SAFE.
>>> UP NEXT, PALESTINIANS PALESTINIANS
AND INTERPOL, AND PAY TO
PLAY, A TERRORIST KILLS
THREE ISRAELI FAMILIES,
AND HIS FAMILY GETS A
>> Julie: THE UNITED
NATIONS REJECTED WARNINGS
FROM THE U.S. AND ISRAEL
AND VOTED TO INCLUDE THE
PALESTINIANS IN INTERPOL,
THE INTERNATIONAL POLICE
AGENCY.
THE VOTE CAME AT A U.N.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY MEETING
IN BEIJING, AND PACKED 75
TO 24, WITH 34 EXTENSIONS.
BOTH WASHINGTON AND
JERUSALEM ARE CONCERNED
THAT THE MOVE COULD PUT
KEY INTELLIGENCE IN THE
WRONG HANDS, AND THAT THE
PALESTINIANS COULD USE
INTERPOL TO PURSUE
CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST
ISRAELIS.
THE U.S. HAS ALSO ARGUED
THAT PALESTINE SHOULDN'T
BE IN INTERPOL BECAUSE IT
IS NOT A STATE.
ONE ISRAELI ACADEMIC
TWEETED THAT ADMITTING
PALESTINE TO INTERPOL IS
LIKE ADMITTING AL CAPONE
TO THE CHICAGO POLICE.
>>> JUST ONE DAY BEFORE
THE INTERPOL DECISION, A
PALESTINIAN TERRORIST
KILLED THREE ISRAELIS AND
WOUNDED A FOURTH.
I TALKED WITH RESIDENTS AT
THE SCENE OF THE ATTACK,
THE SECURITY FENCE OF THE
JEWISH COMMUNITY OF
HARADAR OUTSIDE OF
JERUSALEM.
HERE IS WHAT THEY TOLD ME.
>> ABOUT 7:00 I HEARD A
SERIES OF GUNSHOTS AND
THEN I HEARD AMBULANCES
AND HELICOPTERS, SO I KNEW
SOMETHING WAS UP.
>> Julie: THAT SOMETHING
WAS 37-YEAR-OLD IMI IMIR IMIRAKMUD.
>> HE HAD A WORK PERMIT,
APPROACHED THE SECURITY
GUARD, WORKED ON HIS OWN,
OPENED FIRE, AND KILLED
THOSE THREE INDIVIDUALS.
>> Julie: BEHIND ME IS
THE SECURITY GATE, AND
BEYOND THAT, THE ARAB
VILLAGE OF STATE ZURICK.
EVERY DAY UP TO 300 TO 400
PALESTINIANS CROSS THIS
STATE IN INTO HARADAR TO
WORK IN AREAS OVER HERE.
>> HE KNEW THE AREA VERY
WELL HERE.
IF HE MADE HIS WAY INSIDE
THE COMMUNITY, HE COULD
HAVE REACHED A SCHOOL,
WHICH IS 400 METRES FROM
WHERE WE ARE, BUT OUR
BORDER GUARDS PREVENTED
THAT TERRORIST FROM MAKING
HIS WAY INTO THE
COMMUNITY.
>> Julie: JEWISH ISRAELI
RESIDENTS FROM HARADAR
WERE SHOCKED.
>> WHEN YOU HAVE AN
11-YEAR-OLD SON CALLING
YOU IN THE MORNING AND
TELLING YOU, MOM, THERE IS
AN ATTACKER IN HARADAR --
IT IS THE LIFE LOSS.
>> THE RELATIONS WITH THE
PEOPLE HERE HAVE BEEN VERY
PEACEFUL.
A FEW HUNDRED WORK INSIDE
HARADAR EVERY DAY.
>> Julie: THIS RESIDENT,
STEVE LIEBOWITZ, SAID NOW
THINGS WILL HAVE TO
CHANGE.
>> I LIVED HERE FOR 17
YEARS, AND I DON'T
REMEMBER REALLY ANYTHING
THAT MADE ME FEEL UNEASY.
IT IS LIKE A PIECE OF LONG
ISLAND OUT HERE.
>> I THINK WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO WAKE UP TO A NEW
REALITY.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE
AWARE THAT SECURITY IS AN
ISSUE FOR US.
>> Julie: THIS RESIDENT
AND COUNCIL MEMBER SAID
THE PROBLEM IS THEY DON'T
KNOW WHO TO TRUST.
>> WE'RE TRYING TO BE VERY
BRAVE, TO BRING THEM HERE.
BUT YOU SEE WHAT THEY'RE
DOING?
THEY BETRAY US.
IT IS A MATTER OF TIME
UNTIL YOU HAVE THE KNIFE
IN YOUR BACK.
WE KNOW IT.
UNFORTUNATELY.
AND IT IS NOT ALL OF THEM.
I HAD ONE PERSON WORKING
AND MY HOUSE FOR 12 YEARS.
>> Julie: WITHIN HOURS,
PALESTINIAN LABORERS WHO
WERE WORKING IN HARADAR,
WERE ESCORTED OUT OF THE
COMMUNITY.
IN ADDITION TO THE TERROR
VICTIMS AND THEIR
FAMILIES, THEY SAID IT IS
THE PALESTINIANS
THEMSELVES WHO WILL SUFFER
THE MOST.
>> THEY'VE BEEN WORKING
INSIDE OUR COMMUNITY,
MAKING A GOOD LIVING, AND
HAVING GOOD RELATIONS WITH
THE PEOPLE OF HARADAR FOR
THE LAST 30 YEARS.
AND THIS IS THE KIND OF
INCIDENT THAT WILL CUT
THEM OFF FROM THEIR DAILY
BREAD.
>> Julie: AS WE HEARD,
THE TERROR ATTACK IS BOUND
TO HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT
ON PALESTINIAN WORKERS.
SO WHAT MOTIVATED THE
ATTACKER?
THEY CALL IT "PAY FOR
SLAY."
HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO
HARADAR, WHERE HE WORKED.
HE OPENED FIRE ON SECURITY
PERSONNEL AT THE CROSSING
GATE, KILLING THREE
ISRAELIS AND CRITICALLY
WOUNDING A FOURTH.
HARADAR RESIDENTS WERE
SHOCKED.
>> THEY HAVE ALL OF THE
RIGHTS, LIKE AN ISRAELI,
AND THEY BE BETRAYED US BIG
TIME.
>> Julie: ISRAELI PRIME
MINISTER BENJAMIN
NETANYAHU SAYS PALESTINIAN
INCITEMENT IN THE MEDIA,
SCHOOL BOOKS, AND SOCIETY
ARE TO BLAME.
FOLLOWING THE ATTACK,
NETANYAHU CALLED ON THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY
PRESIDENT MAHMOUD ABBAS TO
CONDEMN THE ATTACKS.
INSTEAD, ABBAS AS FATAH
ORGANIZATION GLORIFIED THE
TERRORIST AND SAID THE
MORNING WAS SCENTED WITH
THE FRAGRANCE OF MARTYRS.
>> THE AUTHORITY TO FATAH
IS TELLING HIS PEOPLE THAT
WHAT WAS DONE WAS A
RELIGIOUSLY POSITIVE ACT,
KILLING ISRAELIS IS A
RELIGIOUSLY POSITIVE ACT.
AND THIS, OF COURSE, IS
THE WORST MESSAGE YOU CAN
GIVE IN A RELIGIOUS
SOCIETY LIKE THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY.
>> Julie: THIS MAN SAYS
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY
BLAME DOESN'T STOP THERE.
>> THE FIRST THING THAT
HAPPENS IS THE FAMILY
RECEIVES HONOR.
AND THIS IS CRITICAL.
THE HONOR THAT THE FAMILY
RECEIVES, EVERY POTENTIAL
TERRORIST SEES THIS AS
WELL.
>> Julie: THAT HONOR
INCLUDES PUBLIC PRAISE,
AND SOMETIMES EVEN NAMING
SCHOOLS, PUBLIC SQUARES,
AND SPORTING EVENTS AFTER
TERRORISTS.
>> AND THE SECOND THING
THAT HAPPENS IS FINANCIAL
REWARD.
IN THIS CASE, THE WIFE AND
CHILDREN OF THE TERRORIST
WHO MURDERED YESTERDAY
WILL BE RECEIVING 2,600
SHEKELS, ABOUT $800 A
MONTH FOR LIFE.
>> Julie: MARCUS SAID
ISRAEL COULD CRACK DOWN ON
ENTIRE VILLAGES, REVOKING
WORK PERMITS INTO ISRAEL.
THAT WOULD INCREASE PEER
PRESSURE NOT TO CARRY OUT
ATTACKS.
BUT THE WEST COULD ALSO
PLAY A ROLE, HE SAID.
>> THE ONLY WAY THIS WILL
STOP IS IF THE LEADERSHIP
OF THE PALESTINIAN
AUTHORITY IS FORCED BY THE
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TO
COMPLETELY CHANGE THE
MESSAGING.
THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY CAN FORCE THEM.
THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY
IS SO DEPENDENT ON FOREIGN
AID.
THE UNITED STATES GIVES
THEM FOREIGN AID, THE
EUROPEAN UNION GIVES THEM
FOREIGN AID -- THEY HAVE
THE POWER TO STOP THIS.
>> Julie: MEANWHILE, THE
THREE MEN WHO WERE KILLED,
INCLUDING AN ISRAELI ARAB,
ARE BEING HAILED AS THE
REAL HEROS.
THEY STOPPED THE TERRORIST
FROM ENTERING HARADAR AND
KILLING CIVILIANS.
>>> COMING UP...A SPECIAL
PRAYER FOR YOM KIPPUR.
>> Julie: JEWS WORLDWIDE
MARK YOM KIPPUR THE MOST
SOLEMN DAY OF THE JEWISH
YEAR.
THEY OBSERVE THIS DAY WITH
FASTING AND SPECIAL
PRAYER.
CHRIS MITCHELL EXAMINES
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS
PRAYER TO BOTH JEWS AND
CHRISTIANS.
>> Chris: IT'S CALLED
THE VADUI, A PRAYER OF
REPENTANCE AND A PLEA FOR
FORGIVENESS.
>> THE VADUI IS A CENTRAL
PRAYER OF CONFESSION, AND
FOR FORGIVENESS OF THE
JEWISH PEOPLE ON YOM
KIPPUR.
IT IS A PRAYER THAT THEY
PRAY, NOT ONLY ON BEHALF
OF THEMSELVES, BUT ON
BEHALF OF ALL OF THE
JEWISH PEOPLE AROUND THE
WORLD.
>> Chris: REVEREND DAVID
PELEGI SERVES IN THE HEART
OF JERUSALEM'S OLD CITY.
HE STUDIED THE JEWISH
ROOTS OF CHRISTIANITY FOR
NEARLY 30 YEARS.
HE SAYS THE VADUI
RECOGNIZES WHAT JEREMIAH
THE PROPHET WROTE, THAT
THE HEART IS DECEITFUL
ABOVE ALL THINGS, AND THAT
DEEDS NEED TO FOLLOW
REPENTANCE.
>> ONE THING WE LEARN FROM
THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
SOMETHING QUITE IMPORTANT,
ESPECIALLY ABOUT YOM
KIPPUR, IT IS NOT ENOUGH
TO SAY YOU'RE SORRY.
YOU HAVE TO CONFESS, SAY
YOU'RE SORRY, AND THEN AT
THE SAME TIME TAKE
PRACTICAL STEPS TO CHANGE
YOUR BEHAVIOR.
>> Chris: THE VADUI
CONTAINS SECTIONS TO BE
SAID BOTH CORPORATELY AND
PRAYED BY THE INDIVIDUAL.
THE GROUP REPEATS
CONFESSIONS LIKE, WE SIN
BEFORE YOU, WE BETRAYED
YOU, WE SPOKE FALSELY.
NOW WE WANT TO REPENT AND
ASK YOUR FORGIVENESS.
THE INDIVIDUAL PRAYS IN
PART, O GOD AND FATHER,
MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH,
I ACKNOWLEDGE MY SINCE,
DESIRING TO LEARN WHAT IS
YOUR WILL CONCERNING ME
AND RESOLVING TO DEVOTE
MYSELF MORE FAITHFULLY TO
YOUR HOLY SERVICE.
PALEGI SAYS CHRISTIANS CAN
FIND A PARALLEL BETWEEN
YOM KIPPUR AND THE
TEACHINGS OF JESUS.
>> WE HAVE A SEEING OF
JESUS, DON'T WE?
IF YOU BRING YOUR GIFT TO
THE ALTER AND YOUR BROTHER
HAS SOMETHING AGAINST YOU,
LEAVE YOUR GIFT AT THE
ALTER AND GO AND BE
RECONCILED WITH YOUR
BROTHER.
JEWISH TRADITION SAYS, GO
GET YOUR RELATIONSHIP
RIGHT WITH YOUR NEIGHBOR,
WITH YOUR BROTHER, WITH
YOUR FAMILY MEMBER,
FORGIVE AND BE RECONCILED,
AND THEN ON THE DAY OF
ATONEMENT, WHEN YOU BEGIN
TO FAST AND PRAY, AND TO
CONFESS, GOD WILL HEAR
YOUR PRAYER AND FORGIVE
YOU, AS YOU HAVE FORGIVEN
OTHERS.
THE TEACHING OF JESUS,
WHICH IS ALSO SOMETHING
THAT IS PART AND PARCEL OF
JEWISH TRADITION.
AND HERE THE TWO LINE UP
VERY NICELY.
>> Chris: CHRIS
MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,
JERUSALEM.
>> Julie: THOUSANDS OF
YEARS AGO, IN THE TIMES OF
THE JEWISH TEMPLE, THE
HIGH PRIEST WOULD HAVE
ENTERED THE HOLY OF HOLIES
JUST ONCE A YEAR ON YOM
KIPPUR.
IT WAS A TERRIFYING
EXPERIENCE AND AN AWESOME
PRIVILEGE TO STAND BEFORE
GOD FOR THE PEOPLE.
THOSE OUTSIDE KNEW HE WAS
STILL ALIVE BECAUSE HE HAD
BELLS SEWN ON THE HEM OF
HIS GARMENT.
ARCHEOLOGISTS IN JERUSALEM
HAVE DISCOVERED A RARE
GOLD BELL, BELIEVED TO BE
PART OF A PRIESTLEY
GARMENT IN THE TIME OF
JESUS.
TAKE A LOOK.
>>> THAT'S THE SOUNDS OF A
2,000-YEAR-OLD TINY GOLD
BELL.
>> AND THE MAN THAT WAS
WALKING WITH THAT BELL ON
HIS COAT, EVERYONE WAS
HEARING HIM COME, A SMALL
NOISE, YOU KNOW.
IT IS NOT A BIG NOISE.
JUST TO GIVE SOME RESPECT
TO THIS MAN.
>> Julie: ARCHEOLOGISTS
UNCOVERED THE BELL WHILE
EXCAVATING AN ANCIENT
DRAINAGE CHANNEL.
IT BEGINS AT THE POOL OF
SIGSILOUM, AND CONSIDERS TO
AN AREA BY THE WESTERN
WALL, WHERE JEWISH
WORSHIPPERS WOULD HAVE
ENTERED THE TEMPLE MOUNT
IN THE TIME OF JESUS.
>> AND THIS BELL WAS FOUND
BY THE SECOND TEMPLE.
>> Julie: THE BELL WOULD
HAVE BEEN ATTACHED TO THE
GARMENT OF A WEALTHY
PERSON.
THE BIBLE DESCRIBES THE
ROBE OF AARON THE HIGH
PRIEST, SAYING, UPON ITS
HEM, YOU SHALL MAKE
POMEGRANATES OF BLUE,
PURPLE OF GUARANTY, AND
BELLS OF GOLD BETWEEN
THEM, ALL AROUND.
HEAD ARCHEOLOGIST ELLIE
SHUKRA SAYS THERE IS NO
WAY TO KNOW FOR SURE IF
THE BELL CAME FROM A
PRIESTLEY GARMENT.
>> IT COULD BE ANYONE.
BUT I THINK IT IS FROM
JERUSALEM IN THE SECOND
PERIOD.
>> Julie: HE BELIEVES
THE BELL FELL OFF THE
MAN'S GARMENT AND INTO THE
DRAINAGE CHANNEL.
>> AFTER 2,000 YEARS, THEY
WERE WALKING, WALKING VERY
HARD IN THE TUNNELS OF
JERUSALEM.
AND AFTER 2,000 YEARS, WE
FOUND THAT BELL IN THE
TUNNEL.
>> Julie: ARCHEOLOGISTS
HOPE TO OPEN THE CHANNEL
TUNNEL TO THE PUBLIC LATER
THIS SUMMER.
SHUKRA SAYS DISCOVERS LIKE
THE BELL SHED LIGHT ON THE
NATURE OF JERUSALEM IN
SECOND TEMPLE TIMES.
UP NEXT, PRAYING AT THE
WESTERN WALL AHEAD OF YOM
KIPPUR.
>> Julie: THE VADUI
PRAYER WE SPOKE ABOUT
EARLIER IS PART OF WHAT
ARE KNOWN AS THE PRAYERS
THAT FINISH ON YOM KIPPUR.
HERE IS A LOOK AT WHAT YOU
CAN SEE ON OUR SOCIAL
MEDIA CHANNELS, PRAYING AT
THE WESTERN WALL AHEAD OF
YOM KIPPUR.
[SPEAKING A FOREIGN
LANGUAGE]
[CHANTING]
>> Julie: THAT'S JUST
ONE EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU
CAN SEE ON OUR SOCIAL
MEDIA CHANNELS.
WE WANT TO REMEMBER TO
PRAY FOR THE CHRISTIANS IN
THE MIDDLE EAST, THE
KURDISH PEOPLE, AND ALL
THOSE IN PUERTO RICO,
MEXICO, FLORIDA, AND
TEXAS, WHO ARE STILL
SUFFERING IN THE AFTERMATH
OF THE DISASTERS THERE.
AND REMEMBER THE GOD THAT
IS WATCHING OVER ISRAEL
AND YOU AND ME, NEITHER
SLUSLUMBERS NOR SLEEPS.
THAT'S IT FOR THIS
EDITION.

Lifestyle Tips For The Fall Season - Duration: 4:53.

Storing food for Surviving - Duration: 2:50.
Good evening,
my name is Thørrkhaalla
and today I'm going to talk to you about stockpiling
why is it important and how do we do it ?
that's what we are going to see
first of all, stockpiling is the fact
of storing any kind of goods, foods
and other things you need to survive, in large quantities
if you're living in a city,
like me,
it can be very challenging to grow your own vegetables and fruits
so you are dependent of your local store
and that's why you need to stock food everyday
and i'm gonna show you how I do it,
right now.
so, this is my shelter,
as you can see there's a lot of food
in can
or even
wine and alcohol that I made,
it's good to have something tasty because
you'll need to keep a good mental to survive
a very good food to store is beans
why beans ? Because it is easy to find in can,
cheap, it is rich also
so great
but you can also store all kind of
canned fish, or meat, vegetables, fruits
cereals are a great thing to store
because it can last a long time and you can have many of them:
wheat, rice, pastas, anything you like.
and it's also a good thing to keep some honey,
honey is great because
it can heal your wound if you're hurt
and it tastes good,
but be careful,
and stay away from sugar,
which is acting like a drug
and you want to be independent,
not dependent
so fuck it !
I personally also have this,
the favourite meat of my friend Tenelædaamähmyrr
in case he visits me
hehehe
this was my stockpiling shelter
I hope you enjoyed the video
now you can write us a comment
and share it to your friends,
see you.

Hunter Douglas Window Coverings for Calgary Homes' Large Windows - Duration: 3:41.
Blind Infusion Presents: What Type of Window Covering Can I Put on My Large, Wide Windows?
As a custom window coverings company, we are often asked the question:
"What type of window covering can I put on my large, wide windows?"
In Calgary, Cochrane and surrounding areas we are blessed with beautiful mountain views
and a large amount of sunlight. We maximize this light with larger than average windows.
Calgary window coverings need to have the ability to cover these large windows as well
as capture the views and light and be easy to use.
There are several window blinds and shades that function more efficiently than others
to accommodate the wide and long windows.
Hunter Douglas has two proprietary products that we recommend for the ability to be lightweight
and easy to use as well as span the large glass area.
One is the Hunter Douglas Silhouette®, which provides a beautiful diffusion of light through
two layers of sheers fused with a horizontal fabric slat to maximize the view.
Hunter Douglas has just introduced the Clearview Silhouette®, which is a perfect solution
for Calgary window coverings that allow our fabulous impressive mountainous views and
cityscape to be unobscured. The innovative black rear sheer provides a transparency that
Calgary and area home owners will love.
Secondly, the Hunter Douglas Luminette® Privacy Sheers pairs extremely well with the Silhouette.
Its vertical sheers and drapery options make it the perfect solution for the wide expansive
windows and patio doors that Calgary and area boasts. The beautiful sheer with a fabric
vertical vane allow homeowners to rotate the vanes to maximize the light while maintaining
the view. The sleek hardware system is exceptionally easy to use, especially with the option of
Powerview®, which can accommodate extremely wide windows and sliding glass doors with
the touch of a button.
Another of our favourite window treatments for the large Calgary windows are Roller Shades.
With their large widths available on many beautiful fabrics the roller shade has become
one of the more popular choices to accentuate your interior. The roller shade works especially
well in modern contemporary homes and those with an industrial flair.
With the added option of a Sheerweave or Sunscreen roller fabric you can protect the harsh UV
rays while maintaining some outward view. The standard operating system, the continuous
beaded chain, it is very easy to operate; however, using Powerview® is a great alternative
for ease of function as well as simplicity.
Many of the Rollershade fabrics can also be considered for a panel system such as Hunter
Douglas Skyline® Gliding Panels. The 11 ½" or 17" panels glide on a sleek hardware
system to provide a dramatic look on your large windows or sliding glass doors.
Calgary window coverings can encompass so many different products: drapery, blinds,
shades, shutters and the list continues.
The forward, creative innovation of products makes Calgary window covering options aesthetically
pleasing to enhance your home.

Catalonia referendum: Spain deploys more than 10,000 police officers for independence vote - Duration: 3:24.
Catalonia referendum: Spain deploys more than 10,000 police officers for independence vote
Usually, there are around 2,800 police officers in the north east region of Spain with a further 1,900 from the paramilitary Guardia Civil. But the number of officers has now climbed to over 10,000, according to the the Catalan Interior Minister Joaquin Forn.
There are now around 5,300 police officers and 5,000 members of the Guardia Civil amid fears of violent clashes.
In a meeting of Catalonia's security council earlier this week, which was headed by the regional President Carles Puigdemont, Mr Forn said the figures had been released to him by the central Ministry of the Interior in Madrid.
Mr Forn has previously expressed annoyance by the lack of information coming from the central government in Madrid over the issue of security.
He accused Madrid of sending the extra officers as a way of "altering the order" of the region ahead of the referendum vote and added their presence could be seen as provocative, triggering public order disturbances.
Madrid has been sending members of the security forces to Catalonia for the past month. Two cruise liners which are currently docked in Barcelona's port and a third in Tarragona are housing several thousand members of the Guardia Civil.
The liners have since been a target of ridicule for independence supporters due to one of the liners in Barcelona being decorated on the outside with the Warner Bros cartoon character Tweety Pie - known as Piolin in Catalonia - who has since become a sort of unofficial emblem of what Catalans see as their struggle for independence.
Not all the extra members of the Guardia Civil are being housed in the three liners with around 1,000 officers being housed in various barracks, such as the one in Manresa, which are dotted around the region.
A number of the Guardia Civil have been transferred from Andalucía in southern Spain where they were waved on their way by those opposed to the referendum with shouts of "Go get 'em!" Previously Madrid had moved to Catalonia's regional police force, a move that was strongly resisted by Mr Forn and the force itself.
Orders have since been issued to Mossos to block the polling stations from opening on October 1, although it remains to be seen if the force will implement the directive.

Posing tips for brides! Posing secrets and bonus makeup/color tips with Vegas Weddings! (Captioned) - Duration: 8:29.
Hi! Its Aimee and Via!
I don't know if you guys know
Via is one of our many amazing photographers
...well not many, we don't have a lot of you guys...
... but one of our amazing photographers...
and she's going to give us some really great
posing tips
because I know its really hard to pose,
we're not sure what to do. During the ceremony
here in our wedding chapel, you're going to be
focused on each other, not on the camera
but if you happen to get one of our Photo Sessions
which we highly recommend
you're going to do some posed photos afterwards
so we're going to give you guys some tips on how to look your best
Or "fake it till you make it" :)
Via: That's right! So first of all, first tip:
Never face the camera like that.
No... don't do that.
Usually just turn slightly, turn towards your husband/wife
you turn a little bit, turn your hip sideways...
see how skinny I am right now?
Via: So skinny! (laughs) Aimee: I FEEL skinny!
Move your foot forward, and that usually is facing the camera
don't stay like that because that
because that's kind of weird Aimee: It looks awkward
And then, Jeff, who's filming us... (and if you guys have any questions let us know and Jeff will answer)...
he also said push your hip BACK- because see...
forward...I'm bigger, my belly's out there
Via: Push your chest out, there you go...
*laughs*
Oh yes, and shoulders back!
And your arms... Via: And a little bit...lean towards the camera
Don't lean back! Because...look what happens
lean forward...Not too much! Not like that..
Just a little bit...
And you can move your arms
Aimee: Oh yeah! When it's down here, it's kind of smooshed
And I know many of us ladies Via: We don't like it.
Via: So just a little bit, move it away from your body
Aimee: I like that. That's really nice.
And you know, one of my favorite tips
I remember -sorry, we'll get back to that in a second-
One of my favorite tips when I was planning for my wedding
...and let me tell you
we practiced photos for 6 months
because I was all about getting rid of my double chin...
Was sticking your neck out a little, not too much
but out a little, and then down,
Because when you go to smile, I feel like you kinda tend
to go...
then the double chin is accentuated
but if you smile and focus on...
out and down
And the other thing I read in a magazine
or I saw on America's Next Top Model
I don't recall
but is put your tongue to the roof of your mouth
like that
but even with your mouth open
And it kinda strengthens your jaw line
And you can't necessarily tell that my tongue is at the roof of my mouth
Via: Beautiful!
Love it! Aimee: Thank you!
Aimee: Yeah! Let's look at this bouquet!
Via: So many brides don't want to use a bouquet
We like it, it adds something extra to the pictures
And also you can cover your belly
You can play with it
Don't hold it up here
or try to hide behind your bouquet
Just hold it down...
Aimee: And I notice your arms are out, as you're doing that, too
And that's a good tip that you could do
As you're walking down the aisle, even
Don't focus on that! Focus on the loved one you're walking down the aisle to...
Because that's what- it's all about the two of you
Via: Flowers down Aimee: But in the back of your mind...
I like that, that's a great tip. What about...
I often see...
One of- it's a great photo, always, but sometimes we get a little stiff
is when we dip
Via: Oh yeah Aimee: So do you have any tips...
Via: We do an easy dip here
Our way is really easy
Well the bride just puts her arm around the groom
Kicks the leg up and leans back!
Via: It's too much fun! I can just dip myself. Like, "Oh look!"
Look at you! You're so limber!
(laughing)
So it's super simple tips
And little things you can do
that will really maximize
your photo experience
and then when you come back after
you'll just love the way you look!
What about... do you have any other tips that you can think of?
Via: There's a whole lot of tips
Like, if I had a beautiful gown on
I could totally show you how to move in the gown
but I don't have it
Aimee: Oh! Well we'll have to come back another time
we'll do some more posing tips
And we'll put Via in a gorgeous gown
Via: Or we can put someone else in the gorgeous gown
and I'll just show you how to move in the gorgeous gown
Aimee: We could do that too!
Via: What else?
Aimee: I'm trying to think...
Well, right now I notice I'm standing here
like this
I should move... like this
Oh! And a bend in the knee, even
Via: Well once you push your hip back, you're going to bend your knee anyway
Because you can't just stand like that, that's awkward and uncomfortable
Aimee: And then just suck in
Via: Suck it in, push it out...
Aimee: The other tip I have to give is
professional makeup
Via: That's right. So important!
Aimee: I've gotten a base lesson in contouring
I'm not that good at it
but that makes such a difference
and it's your wedding day
you want to look your best in your photos
Our partners are really amazing
if you tell them, "I want Natural"
"I want Glam, I want Rockabilly"
They can do it
So you just need to work with them on what you're looking for
but it really does make a big difference
Via: Oh it makes a huge difference
I was just thinking about it this morning
because when I'm doing my makeup, you know, it's not so even
the eyeliner is not so perfect
but like a professional makeup artist can do miracles
So I DO recommend that
Aimee: And with the hair.
I'm all about the sock-roll bun
but, they can do it. And the other thing is
practice your hair styles even if you're
traveling to Las Vegas, you can still practice your hairstyles in advance
to come here with an idea in mind of what you want to look like
For me, my hair looks best when it's off of my face
That's when I shine in photos
so that's why it's off my face right now
but, things for you to consider and play with in advance
and then you can take those photos if you're having your hair and makeup done here
Or you can practice it at home to learn how to do it yourself
I think those are all really helpful. Via: Those are very helpful
Aimee: Anything else?
Via: Yeah, when you pick the color of your bouquet,
try to do a color coordination
with your makeup
so if you have like, red lipstick
try not to have a hot pink bouquet
Aimee: Oh, that's a really good tip Via: Yeah, it's really important to us
Like, in photos
it's kind of... sometimes it looks weird
like orange lipstick and pink bouquet
Aimee: That's a really good point
And we can always do different colors if you want
Via: You have to color coordinate
Aimee: That's a great tip. And you could also, if you have bridesmaids or something
or arranging hair and makeup for them, different things, you're coordinating outfits...
I remember Michelle, one of our planners once gave that tip:
"Why don't you also coordinate hair and makeup"
it's either a really great gift if you can afford it
But it also might not be
and it's something you can clear with them, if that's something they'd be interested in.
And it just gives a really cohesive look to your wedding
Via: That's a great idea.
Excuse me, I have the coughs right now. I think we've covered a lot right now
and we can maybe pull some examples,
or do something over the next few weeks and show you more
If you have ANY questions on some posing tips you'd like
or if you have any Facebook Lives that you'd like to see us do
where you may ask questions,
just let us know! Post it, send us an email, you can reply to this post...
we love to hear from you guys!
This is about YOUR day,
and we're just trying to make it better any way we can so...
Let's strike one final pose!

Fitness trackers aren't dead - they're getting super niche for the super fit | CNBC Explains - Duration: 3:14.
Fitness trackers have become a must-have,
with everyone from
Barack Obama,
Richard Branson,
and even Britney Spears
hopping on the bandwagon
of analysing your health.
But a new generation of fitness trackers
have emerged from
the world of tech
for the super fit
and some of them are giving
market leaders like Fitbit
a real run for their money.
Meet the team behind Kick.AI
The six founders, who are from Finland,
believe they have made
the world's first consumer wearable
for tracking martial arts moves.
Giving users data on
how fast and how furious your kicks are.
For over a year they have been
working on their product.
You put it on your foot,
on your ankle,
and you tighten it up and start kicking.
You do the same kind of simulations
that you would do
without the app
but you get the digital layer on top of that,
with the data.
It stays snug even as you
work on your high velocity spinning kick.
My new career!
Another enormously popular sport
which a startup is designing for
is cycling.
The latest wearable invented by
Swiss start-up Magnes Sports
is a cleat that can be attached
to any cycling shoe.
It may look like any other cleat,
which is the name for the standard clip
attached to cycling shoes,
but this one incorporates technology
that can detect the power and force being applied.
According to the founders,
it is the only wearable device on the market
which measures directly
the power at which
a cyclist is pedalling.
On the other hand,
activity trackers only estimate
the power generated.
The device will also come with an in-built coach
that can compare your performance
to previous cycles,
making sure you don't slack off.
So the ultimate number is power,
that's what you care about.
But as we have a 3D force sensor,
I can tell you how your left leg,
how your right leg is performing
over an entire circle.
And then we're working also on
a machine-learning algorithm
that learns with you how you are cycling
and then starts telling you stuff.
Both wearables startups,
which were in Singapore
for the tech conference Slush,
will be hoping to replicate the success
of Finnish startup Beddit,
which also exhibited at Slush 3 years ago.
Beddit, a startup producing a sensor
which tracks sleeping patterns,
announced it had been acquired
by Apple this year.
Tracking fitness and health
is part of the tech giant's strategy
to make its smartwatch more fitness-oriented,
as it keeps its eye
on the growing demand for wearables.
Fitbit, which had been
the market leader in the wearables industry,
has experienced slowing growth.
However, a recent report
from the International Data Corp
is predicting continued strong sales for wearables,
with double digit growth annually to 2021.
It forecast sales to grow
by 17 per cent this year,
with an estimated 121.7 million devices
to be sold this year.
This figure is expected to grow
to almost 230 million by 2021.
With Apple, Fitbit, and a host of other
up and coming contenders
rolling out new fitness trackers
it looks like we will have no choice
but to get fitter.
For now I can't log any kicks on Kick.AI
but I'll be practicing until I can.
